PINK, MIA FARROW and TARAJI P. HENSON are among the
stars who are turning their backs on photo-sharing website Instagram.com after
privacy conditions were changed, allowing bosses to sell users' images to third
parties.

The new rules
for the popular phone application and social media tool - which is owned by
Facebook.com - were posted online late on Monday, and singer Pink was among the
first celebrities to take note.

In a post on
her Twitter.com blog on Tuesday morning, she writes, "I WILL BE QUITTING
INSTAGRAM TODAY. WHAT A BUMMER. YOU SHOULD ALL READ THEIR NEW RULES."

Actress Henson
also sent out a warning to her followers, alongside a link to an article
detailing the updated conditions.

She tweets,
"If this is true I will have to delete my acct (account). you have until
January 16th to do so", while Farrow admits she has no problem dumping the
photo-enhancement technology, writing, "A small pleasure: deleting my
Instagram app."

They weren't
the only celebrities taking action over the new rules - former House star Kal
Penn tweets, "Sorry I gotta delete you, Instagram. I liked your
filters", and rapper Xzibit revealed he was disappointed by the altered
privacy conditions: "Say it aint so instagram,debo (steal) everyones pics
and then turn around and sell them to 3rd parties with no shared revenue (sic)?
deleting my instagram".

However, Blink-182 rocker Mark Hoppus is undecided about continuing with
the app, posing the question: "what are we going to do about our instagram
accounts?"
